Next on SurvivorA battle of the sexes begins to emerge, as some women contemplate joining forces to turn the tables on the strong men. One Castaway, alone and isolated, takes desperate measures to stay alive in the game. One Favorite is brought to tears when her loyalty and integrity are questioned.

I think the ladies will be the airia tribe... this may explain why Natalie and ALexis last longer then James.

The alone person is Ami. She does not have a good bond with the favs that are left. But the Favs should know that they are about to go to merge possibly and Ami with a hurt knee would be better then a strong Eric.

Do we think it will be a traditional kidnap? Or coudl it be the 2 people on exile are safe? If they kidnap Amanda, you knw Ozzy will not vote out Eric. so the question comes does Cirie vote out Ami or does she force a tie and Ami loses the fire starter challenge.

OR could it be that Airia gets to go to TC and pick someone to be immune like the year they did that when they were set to vote out Osten until they saved him.

well in that shot Eliza and Natalie are looking at Alexis and she has a smirk on her face. I am curious the reasoning to pick Alexis. Eric is the only one that knows her, is this strategy to get to know someone they think will be strong after merge? It is odd that she is standing with the other team. But this she was going to TC with them, wonder why they would not just pick Pavarti or James they are alligned with. maybe the reward is some one from the other team as they have done this in the past.

The other question seems to be is this a super challenge that is both reward and Immunity.

The tricky part is immunity to two castaways ~ I am still leaning to whoever goes to exile will not make it to TC. They did that the one year they saved the girl by sending her to exile, then they merged. It can nto be top 2 performers as it looks like James and Cirie are throwing bags.

They keep talking about injuries. I am starting to think that maybe Ami hurts her knee again and takes one for the team. Maybe the Favs are not being disloyal they are allowing her to go heal. I think when Jeff says Eric yoru out...is because he touched the sand and has to start over from the begining, not he is out due to injury

If Ozzy does not go to TC and it is Ami, Eric, Amanda and Cirie, I still do not get the Ami boot unless they think she will hook up with Eliza or is hurt. This would be Cirie's perfect time to get Ozzy's puppy out of the game.

Wonder if the other tribe picks the person that is immune? The way the girls are looking at Alexis in that picture. I can see jame adn Pavarti wanting to protect Ozzy, but can not see the others wanting to.
